And seeing as I’m now at school trying to check out your example link, yes, I vote FB Pages should be unblocked by schools. Or can schools start by just unblocking certain (checked, educational) FB Pages? I’d fear that, “Now they let those kids play on that Facebook thing at school!” would quickly get around town. If our stance is firm: EDUCATION-RELATED CONTENT ONLY, our perception would be better off.

This is a big benefit of using a Page.

I found one page:
http://ryancollins.org/u/4m

I’ll have to look and see if I can find more. Euclid City Schools (http://www.euclidschools.org/) has a Facebook group, but one big advantage of a page over a group is that a page is public to everyone, it doesn’t require a Facebook account to view.

A frequent concern I read/hear is not just that my students can see my content, but that I can see THEIR content. I like the lack of personableness that could come with a teacher/classroom Page, but fear that the proverbial Appropriateness Barrier would still be crossed if teachers are put into sticky situations with reporting/not-reporting inappropriate content (party pictures, cyber-bullying, etc.)

Are you aware of any other classroom Pages? I like the idea but would like to see some working examples.
